Mac-less Yet Again!

It’s deja vu all over again. I’m Mac-less. Like it was 2 years ago when I sold my iMac G4. And also like 4-5 years ago, when I got rid of my ageing PowerMac 8600. Feels weird. This gaping void. Where my PowerBook used to sit, just a day ago, is an empty space with [...]

Merom, here we come?

Even before officially collecting my iMac Intel Core Duo 17″, I’m already contemplating upgrade options. Being an Intel-based machine, and fortunately, a socket-based architecture, I not only have a processor upgrade path from the first gen Intel Core Duo 1.83Ghz chip (“Yonah”) to a faster chip, I can look at the latest 64-bit “Merom” Intel [...]

Hooked on Realiti

Hooked on Realiti

I’m hooked. What can I say? In a Lost, Desperate Housewives kind of way, local drama Realiti is top on my list of recommended let’s-vege-in-front-of-TV-on-Sunday programs. It’s brilliantly shot, well-acted and has a pretty interesting storyline (wanna know who writes for Realiti? It’s Dzof (for a couple of episodes) and also Ng Ping Ho (who [...]

Goodbye PowerPC, Hello Intel

Goodbye PowerPC, Hello Intel

Don’t get me wrong, I do love my Powerbook. I love the size, form factor, the total sexiness and presence. I still [...]

Well done, Alex!

While I battled understeer and reacquainted myself with the gravel at Turn 9 in SIC, Alex Yoong and A1 Team Malaysia did the country proud with convincing wins in both the Sprint and Feature Race at Brno over the weekend. The race win was A1 Team Malaysia’s first victory of the year and the second [...]

Dogs for adoption!

Dogs for adoption!

Don’t they just beg to be adopted? I recently adopted a Golden Retriever, much like the one in the pic. Lovely, lovely dog. 100% thoroughbred too. Give these loving abandoned animals a new happy home. Or if you don’t want a dog or can’t have one, make a donation for the upkeep of the dogs. [...]

Fazed by Haze

Is it just me or has the world just gotten smokier? Haze seems to have hit the worst in terms of visibility yesterday. I can feel my throat and eyes complaining. More open burning in Indonesia? What’s bloody wrong with the people?
